1. People susceptible to heartburn should avoid lying down immediately after meal. At least an hour’s gap should be ensured between the two. Rather than going for two or three heavy meals; one can take five to six light meals a day.
2. After eating one should stay upright. Food should be taken in moderate amounts so that the functions of stomach acid may be balanced and not cause regurgitation.
3. Food should be well chewed so that enzymes secreted may facilitate digestion.
4. Certain beverages such as carbonated drinks, caffeine and alcohol triggering acid reflux should be avoided. Similarly analgesics with their ‘ibuprofen’ content trigger the same reflux. So pain killing tablets should be avoided.
5. Steps should be taken to restrict the contents of stomach. Just as overeating should be avoided, drinking water along with meals should be similarly avoided. Because by that way the fluid content of stomach is enhanced. Ideally water should be drunk after ten to fifteen minutes of meal. But sufficient amount of water should be taken to neutralize the acid that contributes to gastro-esophageal reflux.
6. Though one is advised against taking citrus fruits in cases of heartburn for adding to the acid formation, natural juices of fruits such as pear, mango, papaya and guava are indeed beneficial for cases of heartburn. The juice extracted from the mentioned fruits serve to cool stomach which in turn relieves heart burn.
